On July 9th three black boys severely beat a white boy on a school bus. They allege it was because he told an authority at the school that they were selling drugs. The beating went on for one minute before the bus driver yelled at them to stop and called dispatch. The victim suffered two black eyes and a broken arm as a result of this beating. Have you heard about this?
